My Neon at the TX National tour weighed in at 2426. It had 1/4 or less
fuel, Supertrapp, Konig wheels, BFG tires, only options are A/C & 6 speaker
sound system. It only goes slow when I'm behind the wheel because Phil
Osburn and Bud Collins can both go real fast in it. Corner weights were LF
763, RF 851, LR 472, and RR 341. Oh yes the winshield washer was full, the
dealer keeps filling it up when it goes in for service. Same dealer that
wondered why I didn't buy my acr from them. I told them their salesman said
they didn't sell acr's. They then got one in and it sat on their lot until
about a month ago, it was a 98 so they really wanted to deal on it. Oh well
Hope this info helps.

My 1996 Neon ACR Coupe weighed *with A/C*, 1/4 tank of gas, spare tire out
and
no other options 2345# on local SCCA car scales when we corner weighed it.
BTW - I found two of them just sitting on Bill Lukes new car lot, I didn't
have
to order them. Got a very good deal too. (ALL cars sold in Arizona have
A/C!)
